Some people are wondering why they should cook with Blackstrap Molasses instead of using the regular molasses. The Blackstrap molasses is much healthier. It is the thickest and darkest molasses, so it has more minerals. It has, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and selenium. The regular molasses is processed with sulfur which is believed to cause allergic reactions.

First, put in a small bowl. Next, Cut (mash) the molasses into the sugar with a fork. This will take a little effort. Do not be discouraged it will work in fast once it starts to. Finally, put the finished brown sugar into a Ziploc bag and put in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.

I don't know about you, but there is nothing that I hate any more then a can of Corned Beef Hash. YUCK!
This is how I make my Corned Beef Hash

First, I start by peeling a bunch of potatoes and boiling them in a medium kettle. Then, I drain them and let them cool. Second, I heat up my cast iron frying pan with about 2 Tbs. of olive oil in it, on a medium heat. Third, I dice up an onion and add that to the pan. Next, I open a can of Libby's Corned Beef and add that to the pan and chop it up with my spatula. Then, I slice my boiled potatoes and and them. Now, I just let it cook until brown, while flipping it over every now and again with the spatula. Add a little kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
I like to serve this with homemade oatmeal bread with a little olive oil on it and boiled eggs.

We had a sleep over outside in our yard the other night. We decided to cook outside and make it like a real camping trip. It was an interesting experience. My husband had put an old wood stove out on the lawn and taken the doors off. The first night we had hot dogs cooked on a stick. This of course worked out fine.
The next morning I decided to make waffles, coffee, bacon, and scrambled eggs on it. This didn't work very well. The waffle iron was one of those old cast iron ones from the early 1900's. I couldn't get it hot enough on this set up and it stuck. The coffee turned out great. The waffles ended up being cooked in the cast iron frying pan like you would cook pancakes. The only think is that the stove wasn't level so it made them a very interesting shape. Then the scrambled eggs turned out great. We ended up calling the waffle, pancake things, flip flaps. They looked terrible.
The thing is though that everything tasted way better then when you cook inside. There is just something about cooking on a fire. I think we will do it more often.
